We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and seeing the best of Wete before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also banned.
What to wear on a flight:
- Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
- You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
